Day 119 - Certhia americana

The backyard was just filled with birds today, on the ground, at the feeders and in the huge cedar tree behind the house.  I was thrilled when I spied this little Brown Creeper because you don't see them that often.  First of all, the little guys are only about 5 inches long and their plumage tends to blend in with the surrounding bark as they creep along.  You are more likely to hear them in mature forest singing "trees trees pretty little trees".  I'm a total nerd.
